Madam Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, Canadians are paying the price for his destructive policies. The farmers who produce our food are continuing to struggle. A farmer from my riding recently showed me his latest gas bill for grain drying. The carbon tax and GST that were applied on top of it amounted to over $1,100. However, with higher costs for producers in the field and for consumers at the grocery store, the Liberals do not care. They are going to go ahead and triple the carbon tax anyway. When will they stop punishing Canadian families and the farmers who feed them?

Madam Speaker, we do care for farmers. I work very closely with farmers across the country, and we are the government that has invested the most in history in the agriculture and agri-food sector. We just signed the sustainable Canadian agricultural partnership, and we have increased, by 25%, the cost-shared contribution to support our farmers. When the Conservatives were here, they were cutting in science, they were cutting in business risk management and they were cutting everything for farmers.
